Which of the following best completes the passage below?

“Government” does not exist as an independent entity defining policy. Instead there exists a group of democratically elected pragmatists sensitive to the electorate, who establish policies that will result in their own reelection. Therefore, if public policy is hostile to, say, environmental concerns, it is not because of governmental perversity but because elected officials believe that—--------

(A) environmentalists would be extremely difficult to satisfy with any policy, however environmentally sound (B) environmental concerns are being accommodated as well as public funds permit (C) the public is overly anxious about environmental deterioration (D) the majority of voters vote for certain politicians because of those politicians’ idiosyncratic positions on policy issues (E) the majority of voters do not strongly wish for a different policy

Please explain your answers.

Is it E?

G is made of bunch of folks who are elected by P and these B of F make policy.

If P P is hostile to E C meaning Policy does not care for E C that means Politicans do not think that enough people care about the policy and the issue does not make a difference in getting them re elected.

A & B are out because they dont bring the people into the discussion

C is out because it is the polar opposite of what is needed. If people are overly anxious about E, P P will not be hostile right?

It is E, this is "assumption" question we need to feel with premise which proves that how candidate will be reelected even with environment policy issues because public don't care of it much while doing vote.
